Rahiv looks up as the others gather at the door and raises his crossbow once more.

Rahiv mills about quietly behind the two. He spent his time studying the walls of the building and the some of the leftover webbing from the spiders but honestly comes up blank as vermin have always bothered him.
Rahiv stopped and stared at Dav in curiosity. He tilted his head and scratched his chin.
He tries to keep a straight face and deadpan as he says "Hmm...curious, I had heard of celestials visiting the planes but I always heard they looked more human. Did you like elves, is that why you chose this appearance?"
See ya Joza, do what chu gotta do!
Rahiv grumbled a bit as he tried to get an angle. It was awkward to try to apply any capability at hunting to something as crowded and aggressive as real combat.
Rahiv grumbles as he does his work to reload the crossbow. "Why in Gozreh's name does it have to be vermin."
Rahiv took a quick knee and fired the bolt straight into one of the spider's eyes.
Rahiv slips the bolt into his crossbow and raises it ready to fire should he see anything undead or dangerous as he makes his way up to the door and nods at Voyla.
Rahiv stared at the spider a bit longer curious to see if it would disappear before giving it a few more pokes with a bolt. He shook his head and looked up when the others began discussing Voyla's actions. He tilted his head and stood up carefully, dusting off his pants "I've seen hunters in the past try to listen for the footfalls of prey, perhaps that is what she is doing." he said to them quietly.
Rahiv dipped low over the corpse and began to examine it. Vermin were always a mystery to him, mindless creatures yet some of the most adaptable.
Rahiv looked up alarmed when the trap fell and when the mist began to come out he pulled an arm up over his mouth and backed up a few steps. He wasn't sure of any traps that offered beneficial waters.
Rahiv looked at the makeshift doorstop and scratched his head. He wasn't sure at all why someone would do it. He shrugged when the others started asking questions.
Rahiv tapped his chin a bit, he looked around surprised to find them back at the Spire. He had still been contemplating what to do with the poor caravan and their guards. He shook his head and pushed their appearances to the back of his mind for now. "Indeed, I'm not that great at mapping out places...let alone a place that is possibly strong in magic. I'll let the ones who prefer the frontlines to take the lead after the last time I opened a door." he said with a slight shudder.
Indeed, Happy Thanksgiving to all those it counts for and happy stuff yourself full of food to anyone else ^_^
Rahiv watched the others for a moment before joining Zinli in looking over the bodies. He sighed as it was a waste of life that these people had been taken so early and with the lack of belongings he could only assume banditry.
He shrugged as he looked at Zinli "I can offer nothing as to the cause of death. It was not nature who did this."
Rahiv did a small bit of searching on the body "I'd say...caravan guard, possibly the Blue Basiliks. Still, we should inform the guard when we head to town again to try and mitigate death around the spire." he said before standing up slowly and looking around for somewhere to put the body. "He won't be needing his gear, it'll at least be useful if we run into anything other than skeletons. We should at least move the body till we have time to do something with it." he said after some thought.
Rahiv sighs, this made a bit more sense. He looked up to the others "Looks like they were recruiting... A little worrisome, might have to let the town and guards know that it seems the tower has started attempting to steal corpses."
Rahiv got up as Joza did and after she seemed to hold her balance well enough, he moved over to the unconscious man. He wasn't sure what the undead would want with a living body or anything of the like.
He motioned the others over before offering a healing prayer.
Rahiv gives Joza a gentle stroke on his head "Careful, careful...We've got this, let's get you up now." he said before poking her with the wand again near the worst of the wounds.
Rahiv fumbles a bit with his pockets and produces the wand before giving her a gentle poke with it.
Rahiv carefully moves to Joza's side before letting out a burst of energy to try and push away the skeletons.
He pulls out the wand ready to heal her shortly.
Rahiv moves along behind Warren carefully, he was terrible at dealing with the boney ones. However, the victim might be someone he can help.
Rahiv gave a small smile "Perhaps that is her way of saying that. I'm rather terrible at figuring out what she is saying most of the time." he said chuckling. He looked up at Joza "Tis true, I've never said her name cause she hasn't given me it yet. She's a clever girl and I'm sure she can find some way to commune it just every time I've tried to name her...she tries to see if I taste like fish, fins first." he said blanching a bit towards the end of the tale.
Rahiv smiles and gives her a hug back "I only wish I was stronger in my talents that you didn't have to suffer so long. We shall all strive to do better this time round, yes?" he said as eh shouldered his quiver and picked up his crossbow. His cat hopped off of Voyla's bed where it had frequented for the the three days they had in town. She went and pawed at Joza and sat before her feet instead of coming to Rahiv. Rahiv proceeded to give her a dirty look and sighed before looking at Joza "Care for a backpack friend? She's shunning me this week it seems. I'm assuming because of my temperament at having failed as the healer." he said shaking his head.
Seems reasonable, there are of course chances for roleplay in such a downtime but I'm fine with either choice. If I was to put a hand on a buzzer for what answer I'd choose though....it'd be to skip the days and get back to the story. But again I am fine with either.
Rahiv bows and leaves Joza to her prayers...he felt that was perhaps not something he should be a part of as it was not his custom and he was not a part of the ceremony. He steps out and smiles at the Blind priestess and at Voyla too, happy to see her on her feet again even if she is not all that well. "I think I will be able to take it from here, that is of course if the lady is willing...While a midwife I am not, a healer I can at least boast. Though, I will strive to do better so that such poisons do not best me again." he said as his face turned somewhat apologetic towards Voyla.
Rahiv smiles and bows to the acolyte and the new mother "It was an honor to learn from you, I'm only sad I did so poorly."
Congrats on the revolution of the planet around the sun once again! May it continue not to explode and may you see many more
Rahiv looked about and tried to figure out where his hands should go in this situation, he did his best helping with towels and water and the like. He pulls out his kit to see if there is anything useful in it as well for this type of thing.
But Rahiv seems to end up mostly wrapping his own self up in the bandages...this is clearly his first birthing.
Rahiv smiled and chuckled "Come now, there is always time to learn. It should be the whole tribe's job to care for a soon to be mother. he said smiling, he hadn't had a joyous occasion to enjoy in some time and he was starting to get in the spirit of it.
Rahiv smiled as he walks along "I have some natural aptitude at healing, no formal training apart from the minor training I got with my tribe as a Shaman. It never hurts to see a trained acolyte at work to help one learn. I only did the magical kind for the most part during my servitude to the Hellknights..." he said going a bit quiet at the end.
Rahiv looked around a bit confused and raised a finger as they called Joza away "I might be able to assist...at the very least it is something I should learn for the future" he mentioned as she started to leave.
Something most people don't realize and I have no idea why but Clerics can leave sPell slots open when they pray in at whatever time they do, they can then pray for I think it's fifteen minutes or an hour to fill that spell slot with a spell that is useful to the current situation (if you find a situation where you can wait and plan ahead). Sat down looked up that ruling at the table recently with a GM and realised I had been screwing myself for so long on versatility. As a healer you can always convert those open slots on the fly to cure spells so it makes sensemble to leave a couple open.
I have come up with a thought, it's a terrible thought but most of mine are so it has that going for it ^__^
Rahiv walked his way back to the Fort Inevitable in silence, he wasn't fond of doing what he had done to beasts but they were rather eager to kill one of his pack and that forced his hand. He looked up to the others as they began to discuss. "I could offer her care, it's a rather simple process now that the poison seems to not be doing any more harm...the issue is the amount of time it will take to get her back to proper health. It could take a week or more. Hopefully one of the Priests will be willing to care for her in a quicker manner for a reasonable price." he said with some worry in his voice.
I'll take a look at it. I've had a couple of games implode recently and I could use the distraction from the increased pain that comes with the oncoming storm that is fall and winter anywho. I've never done Carrion Crown so I have no previous knowledge of it. Edit: Forgive me I'm having issues finding the recruitment page for this game so that I can figure out how to build a character...?
Rahiv waits patiently for them to come charging in and casts his sleep spell. It's best to keep these poor creatures from suffering if he can help it.
Rahiv stands by, his fingers in his pouch sifting through the spell components, ready should they make for an attack approach.
Rahiv nods and makes sure that everything has been taken of theirs and follows along in the rear. He hoped that if they faced anything more, at least it would be living.
Rahiv took out his pack once the arachnid had bellied up and with the help of his cat found the healer's kit he had purchased for the odds and ends of adventuring began to take a look at the wound more carefully. He tried his best, remembering all that he had been taught in the past but it did little to slow the poison. He sighed as Voyla got weaker and weaker. He looked up at the others "It won't kill her but it will leave her very very weak. It might be best if we head back and see what we can do about getting her taken care of. I can take care of her myself but this may take several days with only my skills"
Also best way to make a healer in a party feel useless....poison a party member at low levels
It's an intriguing idea. The main thing I like about the Crit cards is that 1/52 chance that a kobold can get a lucky stab and drop a hero like a fly.
Honestly I love me some Crit cards (both Failures and Hits). Makes you scared of that crit anything all the more.
Rahiv moves behind Voyla to inspect her wound as he reloads.
Rahiv adjusts his aim a bit and attempts to get a good bead on the spider.
Rahiv watches them, seeing them doing well enough and not getting hurt. He simply reloads. He wishes he had the strength to use a bow sometimes.
Rahiv steps a bit to the side to get a good aim on the spider and launches a bolt.
